My thoughts on Isaac and Nigel's treatment in the show
hey everyone. today i wanna talk about a serious topic that's been bothering me for a while. I didn't wanna say anything because i thought it was just an impression but now i gotta say... I genuinely think this show is being homophobic towards Isaac. LET ME COOK.
Starting with something i read/heard (can't remember) Brandon saying a while ago, about how isaac was fully just meant to be a joke and only got more substance because he went and had a conversation with the Joes. I think everyone is pretty aware of how femme gay men tend to be treated as a joke in shows, and only that, to the point where many feminine gay actors only get casted in those specific roles.
We've seen many of the main ghosts forming relationships that have been going great so far, but also some of them were randomly forced in romances that make zero sense (such as bela x sass and trevor x patience) and of course all of them are straight couples! And not only that -- many of the ghosts also achieved many things that they wanted throughout the show. But i swear, it can't be only my impression, that Isaac NEVER wins, ever. And i get it because he's a silly guy, and i love him for that, but i can't help feeling that he's there most of the time to be a punchbag.
And so many of us were so happy for him and Nigel to actually get married, but everything was ruined because they had to add Chris and now he's not even in the show anymore. On the crumbs of interaction between Isaac and Nigel that we had since season 4, we have seen that even thought they're not on good terms, they still care about each other, deep down, somewhere, but they do.
I don't wanna make this longer than it already is, but a lot of us saw the plot for tomorrow's episode, with minimal details, about how Isaac was thinking about some past relationships being too important to be left behind, and obviously we came to the conclusion that this was about Nigel... but NOPE!!! it's the same plot about the basement ghosts over and over again. like, SERIOUSLY? This has to be some kind of ragebait for us, because the way they wrote it made it very likely to believe that we were going to get a nisaac reunion. I've been waiting almost a month for this episode, and i was getting excited about it, and yeah... I genuinely don't understand why they can't even touch the subject anymore, the ENTIRE fandom wants them back, and even in one of the most recent episodes, Nigel was there in the background and didn't say A SINGLE WORD to Isaac. My only guess is homophobia honestly 🤷🏽♀️ we had the whole buildup of their relationship to score some "woke points" and then it was thrown in the trash. I'm ngl if they don't fix this in the next season, I'll be even more disappointed about this show :/
